Regional Roundup: 'Malaysia could become like Singapore with non-Malay PM'

Forget the first kiss. Apparently, the real relationship test is taking a holiday together.

A new Skyscanner survey, in partnership with Coffee Meets Bagel, found that 47% of Singapore travellers consider their first holiday together the most exciting milestone in a new relationship, ahead of the first kiss and even holding hands for the first time.

So why does travelling together feel like such a big deal? And could a holiday be the ultimate compatibility test for couples?

On The Agenda, Hongbin Jeong speaks with Cyndi Hui, Skyscanner Travel Trends and Destination Expert, about why Singapore couples are putting travel ahead of traditional relationship milestones.

What happens when a movie becomes famous for being terrible?

A low-budget Chinese animated film called Niu Lai opened with almost no marketing and just 236 tickets sold in its first 10 days. Then the internet got hold of it. Now, it has reportedly crossed 10 million yuan at the box office.

But there’s more to the story than a 'so bad it’s good' movie. Niu Lai was made over five years by a director and his mother, who taught themselves filmmaking and worked on the entire 86-minute film themselves.

On What's Trending, Hongbin Jeong, Nadiah Koh and Nazirul Asrar discuss why audiences are rooting for an imperfect, handmade film in an age of AI-generated content and whether you would support your child chasing a dream even if it looked destined to fail.
